6.7 Powerstroke delete part 2.

600 isn't bad on the street. 800 is a little harder to drive. 1k is impossible to drive in the rain. I daily drive that truck I showed pulling. It might have been a year old then.

 

Before you spend the bucks on pipe, chit can the muffler, all together. See what that does for you on the cheap, ya gotta have a little Pennsltucky hillbilly in ya!
It used to be (in the 90's & early 00's) that you could unbolt the factory pipe under the cab, get a "long sweep 90*" elecrtical conduit and just turn it out before the rear tire. I did this on my 7.3' "back then", still run 2 of em & the turbo just sings away even at low rpm's and esp. coming off throttle. It may just be the same effect as when I was a kid with clothes pins & playing card's on my bicycle spokes - all "mental power" but I still leave my rear passenger side window down about 4" to hear my "happy place" melody.

 

Hood stack...because they are rediculous and awesome at the same time.

 

I like stacks out of the bed better.

 

No.

And Hell No!

 

Yeah, no stacks whatsover..lol.. I'd like to figure out a way to pipe the turbo music into my house

 

That's what I'm gonna do. I just have to keep the factory stuff usable in case it has to be returned to stock so I can't cut that up. It's a really quick install too. All I have to do is unbolt the back section from the spacer pipe and bolt the muffler free one on..

 

I agree. Every time I see one rolling I say ,, there goes ole Joe rolling in his Sooper Dooper Dodge Doolly with twin stoopid stacks.

 

Back in the day, it got to be almost like nails on a chalkboard to me. Some were worse than others, but I drove an Autocar with a 3406 for a couple years that was especially whiny. And anything with shiny chrome air cleaners outside the windows made me crazy.

Can hardly hear a turbo whine anymore. And prolly my hearing isn't what it used to be. Not that I'm complaining.

 

I saw/heard a straight piped 6.7 a while back. I like turbo music as much as the next guy, but this was too much. I don't know if the turbo/wastegate was stock though...wouldn't surprise me if it wasn't.

Tractor mufflers on 7.3's and 5.9's are pretty common around here.

 

Heard a straight pipes 6.0 today at idle. Dont think it was a 7.3 but I paid no attention to the year of the truck?

 

The turbo on a 6.0 sounds pretty good, IMO. That's about the only good thing about it, though.

 

I have a 7.3 and installed a 4" exhaust with the straight through "big truck" muffler. I tow and it droned so I added a resonator ahead of the muffler. Much better. Daily driven and tow trucks are miserable with a droney exhaust system. Will be towing an 8000# RV for 4 hours tomorrow over four separate mountain passes.

 

Mine has the factory muffler on a really mild tune and it's pretty quiet. I've been told that with deleted 6.7's the tune makes a big difference in sound with or without a muffler. It's a waste but for 200$ I'm gonna get a dpf back with no muffler to see how it sounds. Easy to sell if I don't like it..

 

Lol.. They sure do sound good though..
